We have found a Neptuno Deluxe on D24 that we are interested in buying, but the Estate Agent has stopped responding since I asked if the necessary paperwork for habitation is present. They came back to me very quickly before this question, so do I assume that it isn't? 

Thanks all!

The only properties on Camposol that the council have released Habitation cert's for are up on A sector ...it took the council 20 years to adopt A ..and issue habitation certs...the council have now taken over all the other sectors ..and it could be another 10 years before they release Habitation cert's but this should not put you off buying on Camposol..I bought 15 years back and I am still enjoying the place.

Thanks, I didn't realise only Sector A had them. But it's not an issue to buy without? We are really keen on the one we've seen :)

The truth of the matter is, 'thats the chance you take old bean' If you buy without one.    However, it isn't stopping us from deployment to Campers, do your own risk assessment, read the many answers to that question on here and make your own well judged decision. 

Spain's Covid geographics is more of a problem to me right now!!  Good luck.

You said the estate agent was ignoring your emails... maybe you are asking to many questions...you have got to take into consideration the amount of dreamers & time wasters the estate agents have got to put up with ..I have a friend that works for a estate agents on Camposol ..and they said that 95% of the so called buyers are just dreaming and never buy...my villa is on D24 I know of only 2 Neptunos that are up for sale on D24 .. only one of these is a Neptuno Delux all Neptunos look the same from the front it's when you go upstairs is when you see the difference on the Delux the upstairs part is twice the size this is easily to spot as it will have two patio doors leading to the sun terrace ...the other type of Neptuno only has one patio door and the upstairs part is half the size...good luck if need any more information then just ask.

...hat 95% of the so called buyers are just dreaming and never buy...my villa is on D24 I know of only 2 Neptunos that are up for sale on D24 .. only one of these is a Neptuno Delux all Neptunos look the same from the front it's when you go upstairs is when you see the difference on the Delux the upstairs part is twice the size this is easily to spot as it will have two patio doors leading to the sun terrace ...the other type of Neptuno only has one patio door and the upstairs part is half the size...good luck if need any more information then just ask.

Yes it's the one with 2 patio doors upstairs. I definitely haven't asked too many questions, firstly is it still available then the reply came almost straight away to say yes. Secondly, does it have the necessary paperwork and since then nothing!

My husband is being made redundant in the next few weeks and his age allows him to access his pension straight away so we are good to go with the cash (almost) ready. I'm going to try calling instead :)

It's a good idea to give the agent a call at this stage, just to let them know that you are both serious and in a position to move on a purchase if you find the right place. From my experience, initial contact by email is fine, but a phone call early on is always a good idea: for you as the buyer to find out the basic information and get a feel for how you might get on with the agent, and for the agent to get a better idea of your needs and intentions. Once that basis has been established, continued contact by email can then be quite useful, as it gives you a written reference to look back on if need be.

As Frequent Flyer said, agents do get a lot of emails from people who are not necessarily buyers, or at least not buyers yet, and there could have been a crossed wire that has led to your emails being treated with less urgency than you rightly expect. A phone call should sort that out for you!

Good luck with your purchase, and I hope you find your new home in the sun soon 🙂

I know several estate agents have gone bust during the Covid pandemic, but a lot of properties are with more than one agent. Have a look on Rightmove or similar and see if you can find the property with another agent and contact them. In the current climate they are desperate for sales.

I hope you have success, buying in Spain can be arduous and it's bad luck to have this right at the start.
